NEWS from Lance, W7GJ, dated 2008-10-07:
In case anyone has not heard, I am sending out information again, this time with additional information I have received from K6MYC and W5GAI. Mike advised that all his flights are confirmed for an October 15 departure and his visa is in hand! This is an unprecedented opportunity to contact a rare but very well equipped DXCC on VHF!
Expected dates of operation are as follows (dates not shown are travel dates):
P29VLR (in QI45UM) Oct. 21-26 (GREAT cndx for 6m EME and toward the end of the
period and a common moon with horizon-only stations in NW EU on their moonrise)
P29NI (in QI28mm) Oct 29 - Nov 3 (Common moon with horizon-only northeast USA
stations on their moonset)
Expected frequencies are 50.205 (JT65A mode) and 144.125 (JT65B mode), and P29 will always XMIT in the first sequence. There will be no internet, but there may be some limited email and/or HF liaison via 14.345. It is expected that anyone receiving updates will post them on the N0UK JT65 and ON4KST 6m chat pages for the rest of us:

Please, let's do our best to coordinate among ourselves on the internet and spread out our calls! Mike is encountering over $2100 extra equipment shipping charges - in addition to his personal plane and boat traveo costs. Each contact will be at a huge dollar investment - please do what you can to make the dXpedition successful and also contribute what you can to the costs...

NEWS from Joop, PA0JMV, dated 2008-10-23 07:30UT :
Mike finally showed up on 144.125 on Oct 22 after his moonrise. He worked KB8RQ, W7GJ, W7IUV , maybe more. I started listening at the beginning of the groundgain lobe at my moonrise, today Oct 23. First sigs (-25dB) showed up at 00:28 while he was sending OOO for RA6AX. His signals were fast drifting, so he must have switched on at athat time, later the sigs were stable. I saw him calling/working IK1UWL, DL8YHR but NC, DK3BU, I2RV, DF2ZC, PA0JMV, ES6RQ and then I went to bed again after some 45 minutes of excitement. My groundgain had ended as well. His best sigs were about -24dB but KB8RQ mentioned problems with the big PA in P29, so he must have used his spare 350w brick. Mind the high values of DPOL for the EU-window, that makes it complicated! 73 Joop

In addition I saw SM5CUI, DL8YHR, PE1L, OZ1LPR, VK2KU complete. There was others as well but I went to bed also. Mike produced good signals mostly vertical from -20 to -28.
Gl to the crowd and remember the window is getting smaller and smaller.
